After having holes and tears in just about every one of my black tights, I decided it was time to invest in a new pair from my favorite hoisery brand, Falke. Although they are a tad pricey – they last for so long and never seem to loose their fit. They have the perfect thickness and the quality is excellent! They cost £24 and I bought them from NET-A-PORTER.

Tip: For a more reasonable option – the black opaque tights from Marks & Spencer’s Autograph range (£9.50) are really durable as well, and even more slim-fit for that perfect hold.
